    Hi All

    Hope you are all well - Im leaving my mammoth list back on the old thread....I know where to find it and dont see the point cluttering up this one! lol :D

    Im still working through it and started on the dining room last night which is a massive big hotspot all by itself - a few days binning and shredding should do it - or a can of petrol and a box of matches :)
    :)Sometimes lurking, sometimes posting, but always flying:)

    Well DS is def not right, had another afternoon nap and seems to have little energy (compared to his usual running/jumping self). Being a very sensitive soul as well :(

    Well I have managed the above list apart from some decluttering of the sofa, checked e-mails, internet banking, contacted bridal store reg. wedding date, paid bills, checked and updated spreadsheet, wrote meal plan until Friday and listed 21 items on ebay :j

    Think thats it!! Not bad seeing as I've been sat quiet most of the day so I don't upset DS!

    Back from the doctors (they really don't know their @rse from their elbow over there, another mix up, really doesn't give me much faith in them), but the bonus is I scored myself a free haircut! There was a sign in the hairdressers looking for someone with long one-length hair willing to have a few inches lopped off so I went in and am going back Friday for a cut and blow dry :j It's made my day :) Will have to take the kids with me and it's nothing fancy but it's a treat for me and it's free!

    Need to get tea on and put some laundry away then going to sit down with a celebratory glass of cider :beer:
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy


    WW 37lb (2 STONE 9lbs! :j ) lost since July, 11tybillion to go...
  • right going to finish watching diagnosis murder whist doing a potter round the living room.
